"Million Words or Less" --> Parent/Guardian extra credit assignment!
What are rules on phones, bathroom, etc.?
If we're talking about something math related in class, you should NOT have your phone out. It is rude and disrespectful to others and me.
You MAY use your phone as a calculator and/or quietly listen to music during work time in class.
IF ALL of your work is done for the day, then you may use your phone in a NON-DISTRACTING manor for the rest of the hour.
If you need to go to the bathroom during class, just ask me.
As long as it's not in the middle of me teaching or we're about to discuss something very important, I'll typically let you go.
You will need to sign-out to go to the bathroom on my sign-out sheet near the trash can by my desk.
things to sign-up for:
1. Remind
Download the Remind App
Use the class code @gmoney.

AP Stats Exam Information:
The 2024 AP Stats exam will be on Thursday, May 8th.
The cost of the exam is $98. If you qualify for free/reduced lunch, then the cost is much cheaper!
I will give you my honest opinion about your chances of earning at least a 3.
Research what score you would need on the AP exam to earn college credit from whatever colleges you are applying to to see if it's even worth taking the exam.
This year you must register for any AP Exam by early in November
You can register after November up to March 15th for an ADDITIONAL $40 ($137 in total).
Lastly, if you register but then change your mind later, AP keeps $40 of your registration fee.
We will practice during class for nearly a month leading up to the exam.
I will provide you with a binder full of tips/hints, review material, practice questions, and practice tests.
